A Talent Day

As Big Mike turned an Allen wrench, he smelled

the stench of something rotting in the trunk

of a gray Olds towed in the day before,

while Rolo rolled 'round under the good old

bus.  Over at Tex’s Tavern, the wag Ted

said, “Lizzie, I’ll have another.” Lizzie

shook her head, sending Ted into the men’s

room to piss and rethink his strategy.  

In Noble Coffee, Carl Hicks was laying

it on thick, explaining the various

uses of metaphor in the Good Book.

Harry Reems frowned and shot Hicks a grim look.

Tired, Tex was upstairs in his office where

he now lived, writing three songs he deemed fair.
